Snowdrop Ikariae Galanthus ikariae

This small snowdrop species have bright shiny green leaves and a delicate horseshoe mark at the base of the inner flower.  One of the first spring flowers to appear in early January, these snowdrops are perfect for naturalising and will return year after year.

They prefer a semi shaded position in moist but well-drained soil, in woodlands, lawns and under trees and are an attractive addition to rock gardens and the front of garden borders.

Spring wildflower bulbs 'in the green' are supplied when they are actively growing. This can be a more reliable way to transplant species such as bluebells, aconites and snowdrops, and for all wildflower bulb species the plants can be more quickly and easily established than from dormant bulbs planted in autumn. Wildflower bulbs in the green can be easier to plant as it is clear where the bulbs have been planted.  In most cases, the plants will flower the following spring.

Let the foliage die back naturally after flowering as the leaves are still photosynthesising and sending nutrients into the bulbs for the next year's flowers.

Our highest-quality wildflower and meadow bulbs are grown in the UK from British plants.
